Plot:
Four-year-old Imperial, Nebraska, native Colton Burpo, the son of Pastor Todd Burpo, says he experienced heaven during emergency surgery. He describes to his incredulous family about having looked down to see the doctor operating, his mother calling people to pray in the waiting room, and his father in another room yelling at God and knowledge gleaned from his time in heaven that he could not otherwise have obtained about his great-grandfather and his second sister who died before being born. He goes on to describe Jesus, his physical appearance, and his horse.
